A root canal is performed by a dentist or endodontist, a dentist that specializes in the cause, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of injuries or disease processes that involve the pulp or nerves of teeth.

When looking for a dentist, it is important to make sure they are certified. Certification is offered through standards of the American Dental Association or other accredited dental association sub-specialty certification. When choosing a dentist in the United States, for whatever reason, check to make sure they have no complaints registered with the American Dental Association or the Better Business Bureau.

Other countries typically require membership or certification through Dental Colleges. For example, in India, a dentist should be certified through the Dental Council of India. In Singapore, a dentist should be registered with the College of Dental Surgeons. In Australia, dentists should be registered with the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons. Take the time to ask or find out about certification requirements any country you're interested in.
